This old blog is coming up on two years in the blogosphere – that’s eight years in Internet time according to my e-marketing friends.
In these most recent 24 months, several blog posts have risen to the top as “most popular or frequented,” at the Land of 10,000 Perspectives. While they aren’t necessarily my favorites, I’m proud of the page views they’ve generated.
The Top Five Frequented Posts include:
1. Friday Philosophy – Shivering (11,195 page views). Here I lament about the sub-zero temperatures Minneapolis dips into each January. But really it’s the picture of frostbitten fingers that most visitors are after. Can you say purple and black?
2. Crazy for Madonna – Or Just Crazy Madonna (7,572 page views). In the post about the Material Girl, I compare her early good looks to her witchy 50-year-old smile. I’ve received a lot of hate e-mails about this post from Madonna lovers. I just can’t get over the fact that she looks haggy. Guess all that material wealth hasn’t helped in the looks department.
3. Cities 97 Sampler Volume 20 (3,025 page views). For 20 years, local FM radio 
station, Cities 97, has produced a CD of indie, rock and alt songs. The CD sells out in the Twin Cities in a matter of hours. Its popularity has a cult following and I’ve seen the entire set of CDs sell for more than $350 at charity auctions. By the way, proceeds from the CD go to charities in Minnesota. Nice goin’ Cities 97!
4. “Skinny Love” – Bon Iver (2,771 page views). Wisconsin native Justin Vernon issued his “Forever For Emma,” CD eons ago, it seems, to much critical acclaim. This post gets hits because I’ve posted the lyrics to the song, which I am want to do with most of the tunes I post on the site.
5. Cities 97 Sampler Volume 19 (2,650 page views). See previous graph about Volume 20. By the way, my favorite Sampler CD of all time is Volume 14. You can check out all the Samplers and their song lists here.
There you have it. The Top-Five all time greatest posts on my blog. More to come, so bookmark the page and stay tuned.

Wow, 2 years?! I’d have figured you’d been blogging along a lot longer than that. Hmm.. Congrats!
I never much thought about when I started blogging (until YOU mentioned it), so I went back and looked at my very first blog date:
http://michelesmith.spaces.live.com/
I started that April 18, 2005 and have migrated many many times to different addresses. Such a little gypsy I am!
Hey Michele…yeah I meant that I’ve been blogging here on WordPress for two years. Blogged a couple years prior to this on blogger. Those posts are long gone. Thanks for keeping up with reading me.
YAY for 2 years. Keep on writing for us!
